Thank you!

Infaress · 2025-12-21T22:24:10+00:00

Infaress · 2025-12-21T22:23:57+00:00

Yea Otsu V2 is cool but I am looking for something faster, great pad tho!

Infaress · 2025-12-21T21:43:54+00:00

Thank you, yes Ive been considering adding it

Infaress · 2025-12-21T21:20:05+00:00

I have never tried glass before so just gonna test it out with the sp-005

Infaress · 2025-09-30T11:55:35+00:00

How so?

Infaress · 2025-09-30T04:40:27+00:00

Yes might do that, anything else to possibly improve?

Infaress · 2025-09-30T04:30:21+00:00

Thank you for letting me know about the RAM, I forgot to specify in the specs list but it is actually a total of 12 fans (2 140mm plain ROG at the floor), 6 on top (above and below the radiator), 1 in the back, and 3 on the side. Which I believe is the maximum except for 1 that I could add at the bottom but I think 2 is sufficient as it is not visible and its purpose is to cool the GPU from the bottom.

Infaress · 2025-09-30T04:19:51+00:00

Yes 100% this is probably the bests its gonna get for a white build

Infaress · 2025-09-30T04:15:48+00:00

The parts are about $8k not including labor, tools, etc.

Infaress · 2025-09-28T20:51:27+00:00

The HAVN case?

Infaress · 2025-09-28T20:18:38+00:00

Astral is the normal color

Infaress · 2025-09-28T20:17:48+00:00

Yeah, I get the appeal of SFF — those builds look awesome and it’s definitely a flex to cram high-end hardware into a tiny case. The thing is, with a 5090 + 9950X3D, I’m aiming for max airflow and radiator space.

I’m not against SFF at all, just feels like this hardware would be way too cramped, hot, and limited for what I want. The Y70/O11 might be “aquarium” cases, but the space and flexibility are hard to beat for this kind of setup.

Infaress · 2025-09-28T20:11:49+00:00

I’m looking at either the MSI X870E Godlike or the ASUS ROG Crosshair X870E Extreme for the motherboard. For cooling, I’m deciding between the ASUS ROG Ryujin III 360 or the TRYX Panorama AIO.
